Quiet Forest.

After hearing the chilling sound and the battle cry from afar, Thorne just stood there and pondered for a moment, and immediately followed the direction of the sound.

From the direction the sound came from, he could determine the approximate fighting position. As long as he walked eastward along the spacious and flat commercial road, he would be able to arrive at the fastest speed.

However, he did not choose to do so, because he did not know the identity of the two sides in the melee, and if he appeared in the slaughtering battle, the two sides were likely to attack him at the same time.

So out of prudence, he hid his figure into the shadow of the jungle, carefully passed through the dense bushes, and jumped over the leafy trees one after another, using stealth to move in the direction of the battle. rush.

As the light became darker and darker, Thorne's hazy figure gradually entered the depths of the jungle, and there were sounds of various animals around him. The racial talent "Mask of the Wild" brought to him by the elf blood, coupled with the "forest piercing" feature, wherever he passed, the passing trees seemed to wave to him.

The movements that caused him to walk through the jungle were as quiet as falling leaves, so that most forest beasts, even the most alert felines, did not hear or notice his arrival.

I have to say that in these forests that have not been destroyed by human beings, the number of beasts is really large. The dense shrubs and grass vegetation greatly increase the number of beasts, even the weakest hare, in Thorne's sneaking all the way. , have encountered a lot, and even in a little inattention, I was almost startled by a hare that suddenly came out.

As Thorne sneaked in the jungle, the faint sound of chilling became more and more clear to his ears, and even the faint blood that gradually began to drift out of the humid air was captured by him keenly.

After a while, Thorne, who was walking in the jungle, was about to approach the battle field for the melee.

The roar of beasts, the collision of swords, the whistling of arrows and other melee sounds were all clearly heard by Thorne.

However, in order to prevent being noticed by the enemy, he always stood in place and did not move. Instead, he chose to listen quietly, using his keen sense of hearing to judge the approximate number of the two sides.

In this way, Thorne hid in the shadows for a while, and his eyes hidden in the hood showed a clear color.

"It's tricky, the number of hobgoblins is a bit large, I'm afraid that group of barbarians won't be able to last long."

Then he frowned and whispered to himself, pondered for a moment, and immediately locked his eyes on the attribute bar:

Occupation: Ranger lv7 (084500)

Part-time job: Kendo lv5 (039000)

XP: 77413

Practice point: 35179

"The level of the kendo master has been raised to level 6. Apart from gaining an extra free attribute point, there are no other occupational characteristics, and the help for this battle is not so obvious. If the level of the ranger wants to be raised to level 8, the experience value is not enough. "

Looking at the somewhat awkward attribute, Thorne thought for a while, looked at the progress of understanding "Sword Intent" in the attribute column, and made what he thought was the best choice.

"Ding!"

Consume 60,000 experience points!

Sword Intent Comprehension Progress: +2%, Current Progress: 8%!

Get practice points: 30,000 points!

...

The reason why he didn't choose to save the experience to improve his professional level is mainly because Thorne vaguely felt that if he increased the comprehension progress of Sword Intent to 10%, he seemed to gain some unpredictable special abilities.

Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the level, the experience value and training points of killing low-level monsters in the wilderness will gradually decrease. Since the promotion of the occupation level cannot bring about qualitative changes for the time being, it is a waste to keep it. It is better to convert the experience value into Precious practice points are more practical.

Thorne looked at the practice point at 65179 and made the choice he just planned without hesitation.

He first used 15,000 training points to master a stance technique called "Flame Jue" among the third-level moves of the Mofeng Sect.

Then spend 10,000 and 15,000 training points respectively to activate all the second-level sword moves and third-level sword moves of the Steel Soul Sect.

Then, using the remaining training points, 10,000 training points were spent to learn the second-level countermeasure of the Steel Soul sect, "Being Careful", and 15,000 training points to master the third-level countermeasure of the Steel Soul sect, "Spirit of the Body".

The Steel Soul faction's coping skill "Being Careful" is a kind of concentration through the "concentration" skill to quickly read the opponent's spells or other skill actions, and then allow oneself to avoid spells or other attacks in advance.

"Spiritual Control" is also a defensive move. Its main function is to use powerful mental power to overcome physical threats. By concentrating on mobilizing the energy of qi, it can ignore the damage caused by deadly poisons or diseases.

That is to say, when he faces any kind of continuous damage that can threaten him, such as poison spells and disease spells, he can choose to activate the "spiritual body", use the energy of qi to convert it into pure power, and Its full exemption offset.

The three counter skills of the Steel Soul faction, the first-level move: "Perfect Spirit" gives him the ability to resist any will save. For example: Human Set, Charm Human, Fright, etc.

The second-level move "Being Careful" allows him to have the opportunity to dodge any targeted attack spells, just like a pre-judgment skill. For example: when he perceives that the enemy is casting "fireball", he can immediately launch this move, and through his strong concentration, he can perceive the trajectory of the spell attack, and then evade and dodge in advance.

The third-level move "Spiritual Body Control" allows him to overcome most threats of continuous physical damage. Even in the face of strong poison damage, when he activates this skill, he has the capital to resist.

However, if he wants to use these three abilities with ease, the premise is that his "focus" skill level must be high enough, otherwise even if he masters this powerful move, without the support of high enough concentration, he will not be able to play the real move. effect.

As a swordsman practicing the Steel Soul School, only if you master all these three moves can you be a true entry. This is the most basic move of the Steel Soul School, and it is also the most powerful move. Life is not too much.

Just like back then, if he had not mastered the "Perfect Spirit" move that could resist Will save, then the "Charm Human" spell of the sorceress in the face of Lake Spirit and Twilight Town would have long since become an unreliable person. Slaughtered puppet.

But the two Steel Soul sect moves he had just learned only greatly improved his survivability, and they were not very helpful to the current battle.

The moves of the desert wind faction are to use the energy of qi to convert it into the power of fire, and then guide it out of the body to cause damage to the enemy. All of these moves are supernatural abilities.

The function of "Flame Judgment" is to guide the flame energy in the body, so that the flame dances and rotates within one meter of the body, forming a flame barrier.

As he walks, wherever he goes, as long as the enemy touches the flame barrier, he will be scorched by the flames, which is very similar to the flame body of Balor.

Moreover, the damage of "Flame Jutsu" will continue to increase as his kendo level increases. With the strength of his level 5 kendo master, if he has no fire resistance, he can deal at least 5 points of fire damage.

But he has the "Desert Fire" feat. With the blessing of this feat, the fire damage is directly doubled.

In the emerald field, an ordinary goblin or kobold has less than 10 health points, which means that even if he stands still, he can easily do it with the flame barrier surrounding him. to burn these wild creatures.

There are two schools of kendo: desert wind school and shadow hand school.

The former has the power to control flames, while the latter has the ability to use shadows. The moves of these two genres belong to supernatural abilities, and the power of their moves, like the ranger magic, depends on the perception attribute.

However, the way of casting is to consume the energy of Qi in the body. This energy permeates the entire multiverse and flows in every living object.

But if you want to really guide it out or let this power grow, you need a special way of practice.

This also made Thorne deeply aware that with the gradual improvement of his own strength and the increasing number of nine sword moves in the future, if "Qi Refinement" is the key to the cultivation of powerful energy of the atmosphere, it still cannot break through and enter the next level. If so, it will definitely severely limit his combat effectiveness due to the lack of qi energy.

However, apart from knowing the way of cyclical and gradual accumulation of practice, and inadvertently defeating the devil's will, absorbing the devil's essence, and getting a small improvement, he does not know any other shortcuts that can be broken through, even the old man who taught him the nine swords Neither was disclosed.

"That is to say, absorbing the essence of the devil seems to be helpful to the cultivation progress of "Qi Refining Technique". I don't know the reason. I must study it when I have time."

Thorne looked at the demon mark in his palm, pondered for a moment, then stopped wasting time, and prepared to leave for the battle arena that was still fighting not far away.
